My Beloved

Chapter 457 - HAN LUO'S TEACHING

"Is that why Hugo wasn't surprised seeing me?" Han Luo inquired. She remembered Hugo didn't ask about John Lu who was supposed to be with Mo Yuan.

Mu Ling commented, "Yes, I guess. Mom and dad also recognized you instantly. Dad let uncle Long (Assistant Ju Long) and Hugo know about it and told them to keep it a secret."

"That's very generous of him." Han Luo's heart was filled with gratitude.

"Yeah, he doesn't look much but he got a soft spot for hard working, honest people," Mu Lian remarked.

"We heard only you and your ugly boyfriend are working on this project. How come?"  Laquan questioned her. "Whenever papa starts a new project, he creates a big with old gramps and allows them to do the work. I heard this shopping is a huge project. Papa was telling that to uncle Long."

"It's a bit complicated. But we are honestly having fun." Han Luo couldn't tell them that their 'ugly' brother was trying to punish her and that's how the project landed on two people's shoulders. If she did, they wouldn't let her get married to Mo Yuan.

"How can you lie like that?" Mu Ling interjected. "Look at your dark eye circles. Mamma always says that having dark circles means you aren't resting enough. If you don't rest enough, you will fall sick."

"It must be that ugly b***ard, isn't it?" Mu Laquan clenched his small fists. His expression was terrible.

"Ba- what?" Han Luo's eyes widened in surprise. It was shocking to hear this from a ten year old's mouth. "Where did you learn this word from? I'm sure your parents don't use these kinds of words."

She had seen Mu Lan and Mu Liang up close for two years. There was nothing she didn't know about their personality as they never hide anything from her. Mu Lan treated her like her own and always took good care of her. Even Mu Liang made sure she was eating and sleeping properly.

When they interacted with their children, they would carefully choose words to describe people's characters. They never used slang words in front of them. So, there was no way they would learn this 'ba****d' word from them.

Mu Ling answered casually, "We learned it from uncle Feng. He is a master at bad words. When he is mad with his subordinates, he scolds them a lot."

"And he scolded his subordinates in front of you?" Han Luo found it hard to believe. She knew for sure that Mu Feng's wife Qi Ying would never allow them near Mu Feng and his colleagues. For some reason, she was afraid of her husband's employees.

Mu Lian corrected her thoughts, "He did not scold his men in front of us. Deming was spying on him and he heard his father saying those words. Afterward, he told us."

Mu Deming was Mu Feng's mischievous son. He liked spying on his father and complain to his mother. Mu Feng was absolutely tired of this eight year old brat.

Han Luo understood that Mu Deming spied on his father secretly and was enlightened by a new word. He couldn't wait to share with his cousins how knowledgeable he had become. Because of him, his cousins were also enlightened by this knowledge.

She gently told them, "Boys, you don't need to use this kind of words so casually. It will make you look bad."

Mu Lin asked, "Will it? Does that mean uncle Feng is a bad person?"

She patiently explained, "He is not but he wasn't taught properly. He wasn't lucky enough to grow up around good people like you guys." Although Han Luo said that, she was no idea about the Mu Family's inner circumstances. She had no idea how correct she was.

However, the boys knew about the situation inside the Mu Family and gave it a deep thought. They found their pretty sister's words logical and didn't argue.

Before they said anything else, Han Luo checked the time and told the quadruples, "All right boys, I need to freshen up and have lunch before going to the company for the meeting. Would you give me a moment then?"

"Okay!" they spoke in unison. That was so adorable.

Han Luo took a hot shower and disguised herself as John Lu. When she came out of the bathroom, the four dumplings gave her a dazed look.

"Pretty sister, you are pretty even as a man," Mu Laquan complimented her.

The other three nodded in agreement.

Han Luo checked herself in front of the mirror and asked them, "Do you think I can steal women's hearts with my dashing face?"

Mu Ling excitedly replied, "You can!"

"Absolutely!" Mu Lian's voice was firm.

"No doubt!" Mu Laquan admitted.

Thinking of his third brother, Mu Lin shyly spoke, "Pretty sister is so cool! Even men will fall for you."

Han Luo was satisfied with the praises. She offered, "All right then, let's go down and have some lunch. My treat."

"Yay!" the boys cheered up.

They came out of the room and Han Luo locked the door. Mo Yuan's door was tightly shut. She didn't bother him thinking he was resting. She took the boys downstairs. The boys took her to the garden of the hotel. It's a special place for VIP guests.

Since the hotel belonged to the Mu Family, the boys had no problem taking her there. They ordered food and chatted merrily. After the food was served, they began to eat.

At that time, Assistant Ju Long entered the garden at a quick pace. "I'm sorry I'm late, Mr. Lu… I mean Miss Han."

Han Luo's face beamed seeing a familiar face. "Assistant Long, it's been a while. I know there was traffic. You don't have to apologize. Please address me as Lu since I'm in disguise. And, thank you for covering up for me."

Assistant Ju Long fixed his glasses and replied, "It's nothing. I hope the boys aren't disturbing you.. I told them to let you rest first."
